Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre is still looking to take Big E’s title away before moving to SmackDown. What will the two men do when they face off in the ring this week?

Tommaso Ciampa found his next two opponents on WWE NXT. Hit Row’s Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott also finally decided to give Santos Escobar a shot at his NXT North American Championship after not defending his title for a long time.

Toxic Attraction tried to take down Raquel Gonzalez while Tony D’Angelo made an impressive debut on Tuesday night.

Roman Reigns gave Paul Heyman a chance to come clean on WWE SmackDown. Reigns’ Special Counsel confirmed that he was loyal to The Tribal Chief and that Brock Lesnar would suffer a terrible loss at Crown Jewel.

Bianca Belair showcased her strength on SmackDown and took out Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. Will Belair and Banks manage to get on the same page on RAW when they take on Becky and Charlotte Flair in a tag team match?

#5. Sasha Banks must leave Bianca Belair to take the pin on WWE RAW

Bianca Belair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch are currently feuding for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. On Friday night, Belair took both women down to prove her authority on SmackDown.

This week on RAW, Belair will team up with The Boss to take on Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a tag team match. Flair does not have a challenger for her RAW Women’s Championship, but she could soon find one.

During the tag team match on Monday, Belair and Banks must get in a disagreement. This must force Banks to leave her partner and walk to the back.

Flair or Lynch must then finish Belair off and win the contest. The angle will help further build The Boss as a heel. It'll also allow Belair to come across as a bigger babyface before the Triple Threat Match at Crown Jewel.

#4. Drew McIntyre must Claymore Big E on WWE RAW

Big E won the WWE Championship from Bobby Lashley after cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. He silenced Lashley by defeating him inside a steel cage to retain his title.

After their match, Drew McIntyre emerged as Big E’s next challenger. While The Scottish Warrior has been drafted to WWE SmackDown, he still has his eyes set on the title.

On this week’s RAW, the two men will meet in the ring once again. Big E and McIntyre must get into an argument leading to a brawl during the segment. The Scottish Warrior must stand tall at the end of it by delivering a Claymore to Big E.

The will help put McIntyre over before Crown Jewel and make Big E’s potential victory at the pay-per-view even better.

#3. Von Wagner must pin Ridge Holland on WWE NXT

Von Wagner got a big debut match on WWE NXT 2.0 a few weeks ago. He failed to win the NXT Championship on his first outing but left a mark on the roster.

He will team up with Kyle O’Reilly to take on Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland in a tag team match this week. KOR has had a long-running rivalry with Dunne and Holland, and that could come to an end this week.

WWE must allow Wagner to impress during the match and pin The Bothercauser to pick up the win for his team. Holland is on his way to SmackDown, and he could be used to give the new big man a good rub on his way out.

#2. Joe Gacy must pick up a victory over Tommaso Ciampa on WWE NXT

Tommaso Ciampa wanted to meet his next challenger on WWE NXT last week. Bronn Breakker was happy to give Ciampa a match for Halloween Havoc.

Later, Joe Gacy confronted the NXT Champion and demanded a match of his own. This led to a bout being booked between the two men this week. Gacy will get a chance to find himself in the NXT Championship match if he defeats Ciampa.

This week on NXT, WWE must allow Breakker to interfere in the match and cause a disqualification. The referee must then award the victory to Gacy. This will allow Gacy to enter the NXT title match for Halloween Havoc and give the creative team a scapegoat to protect Ciampa and Breakker from the pin.

#1. Sonya Deville must get a new face to replace her on WWE SmackDown

Sonya Deville has not competed in the WWE ring since SummerSlam 2020. She has instead been playing the role of a WWE Official for some time now.

Last week, Deville booked a match between herself and Naomi after refusing to give The Glow a chance for weeks. This was a surprise decision, taking into account that Deville wasn’t ready to give Naomi a chance for a long time.

Deville must pull off a swerve this week on SmackDown and bring in Xia Li to take her place in the match. This will be a great way to introduce the Chinese Superstar to the main roster crowd.
